Why You Will Love This Easy Egg in a Bagel Hole Recipe
This recipe takes three classic breakfast ideas (bagels, bacon and eggs, and egg-in-a-hole) and turns them into one super delicious, hearty breakfast. With a buttery, toasted bagel, creamy soft-baked eggs, salty prosciutto and melty cheese, each bite is packed with flavor and protein.
Ingredients
-
1 bagel (sliced in half)
-
2 Happy Eggs
-
1 tbsp butter
-
2 slices prosciutto
-
White cheddar or gruyere cheese
-
Italian seasoning
-
Salt and pepper
Instructions:
-
Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 375º, then slice the bagel in half and carve out a larger hole in the center if needed.
-
Butter Up: Melt the butter in the microwave and add Italian seasoning. Dip both bagel halves into the butter mixture and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Layer on the Flavor: Line the bagel holes with prosciutto to prevent the egg from leaking. Add a sprinkle of cheese around the edges.

Crack those Happy Eggs: Carefully crack an egg into each bagel hole. Don't worry if it overflows a bit.
-
Bake & Set: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
